[kkl193]

Does anyone know how long these bulbs last?

Sylvania SilverStar?

Sylvania Xtravision?

Your better off getting MTEC bulbs. Less expensive and better performing.

^ He's right. I had had the superstar bright white light whatever its called, the 50$ ones. And one of them burned out in about 3 months. My brother had the same problem with his at 6 months.

I'm using the Sylvania SilverStars on both my vehicles. I put them on early last summer, I believe. So far, so good.These were only $14.00/ea.
I like them better than the Halogens.

Those bulbs are halogen bulbs...

I've had XtraVision before, and they are no different than your stock halogens.

Ive used the 9006 Silverstar ultras ($50 ones), they suck. Ive had them for a good year, took them out they just sucked. Switched to GE Nighthawk sport, really light blue tint, its a lot better and still maintains a small amount of white and i can actually see. i looked around on ebay for some new bulbs to try out, anyone have an opinion on these bulbs? they look promising with 30% bigger tubes:

Wow, where have I been, never heard of them. I've always been sceptical of these types of bulbs ever since the old days with those PIAAs and Eurolite bulbs, burning out every 3 months.

Any idea what makes these ones last longer?

1. Canada????

2. Well, I only drive 12,000 miles/year and most during the daytime hours. I'm not saying they are magic but the other crap (or Luminics) you mentioned I would never install.
